Posted October 16, 2014 Buffering videos loads them to RAM, it does not save on your PC. By buffering the whole video, it will store it in RAM cache, and if the video is too long it will make a temporary file for it that gets deleted when you close chrome. I get that, I was figuring the addon saved something since we all know many of them save stuff when not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 16, 2014 I know them feels of running my Internet on a wireless tower and I know some days I can't even use the internet. Sucks living on a road where the only thing that is installed for infrastructure is electric. We don't even have wire ran for even a land line. It's sad.

Posted October 16, 2014 yeah, and then compound that with the fact the towers are overloaded, you get a craptastic connection That's just the struggles of a wireless internet company but I can't complain too much because they are really my only choice for internet and when you call them its like a 1-2 minute wait to talk to someone to resolve a problem.

Posted October 17, 2014 There are plenty of ISP's here but only 1 will provide their service to us. We pay around 35 euro's per month for 2,5mb/ps while someone I know in the city 2 kilometers away pays less and gets 50mb/ps down with HD tv and all that. Life is unfair. So many things I could write here... things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 17, 2014 Where I live the only options are Telus and Shaw. Both of which suck in their own ways. Telus used to be waaaay worse, they're actually not bad now, speed wise at least.

Posted October 17, 2014 Magic actions for youtube (on chrome) allows you to fully prebuffer your videos. This will basically download it to your computer so you can watch it all at once, but then it doesnt use any space because it deletes itself afterwards. Much more convenient than downloading I love you. I had no idea this existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
